Songs to Practice

I have had some questions regarding the music so I thought I would clarify here instead of responding to comments or emails.  I changed the links and you should be able to access them now.  Also I have included character names next to the songs so you know which song(s) your child needs to practice.  When it says Company, that means everybody!  Please have fun and enjoy your break!!

Ready, Set, GO!!!

We are so excited to be doing this again.  I have honestly been looking forward to, and planning for this since closing night on the Jungle Book last April.
Some of you were involved last year with Jungle Book and to all of you I say Welcome Back.  Some of you are trying out Hidden Hollow's Musical Theater program for the first time and to you I say Welcome!   I am overwhelmed and I love to hear all the buzz going on at school about our upcoming production.
For this first post, I thought I would give you a few bits of information that hopefully will answer many questions you have as well as helping you to make an informed decision on whether our production of Alice in Wonderland will be a good fit for you and your child.
1.  Auditions will be held next week on Thursday (10th) and Friday(11th) from 4-7.  The flyer said that auditions will be "workshop" style so I thought I would explain what that means.  On Thursday we will spend time working on a scene from the musical as well as a small clip from one of the songs.  This will happen from 4:00-5:30.  At 5:30 we will begin auditioning the kids in groups of 4 or 5.  They will perform the scene as well as sing the song as a group.  Once they are finished auditioning, they are free to go home.  On Friday, we will be teaching the kids a dance from the show.  This will take place from 4:00-5:30 and again we will audition the kids in small groups until 7:00.
2.  Casting will be posted on Wednesday, December 16th.  The reason for the early auditions and casting is to give the cast a chance to go over the script, listen to the music and do a couple of short character assignments over the break.  If your child doesn't make the cast, please keep in mind that we will be forming a choir and we would love to have all kids join the choir.
3.  On January 6th @ 5:00(after the break), we will be having a parent meeting.  During this meeting we will be going over the musical disclosure, answering questions, ordering t-shirts, and taking donations.   Donations are as follows:
     One cast member: $30.00
     Two cast members $50.00
     One choir member $15.00
     Two choir members $25.00
     One cast member and one choir member $40.00
At the parent meeting, we will also have a sign up for the choir.
4.  Rehearsals will start on Monday, January 11th.  Rehearsals will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30-5:30.
5.  The show dates will be April 20th, 22nd, and 23rd.
Thanks again for your interest.  I hope this post answers a lot of your questions.  If you still have questions, please comment on this post and I will respond as quickly as I can.
